Mai: ...So how long have you been here?

Ko: Many millennia, Mai.

Mai: Were you always a disturbing beetle thing?

Ko: Oh, there's variation in every lifetime, but I've always loved the life of collection. From soft skins to waves of furs, my fascinations have often been considered... sickening.

Mai: I agree. What you do is disgusting.

Ko: Every spirit requires a hobby.

Mai: Not one that involves stealing another's face. How do you live with yourself?

Ko: A certain Ko-dependence, my child.

Mai: What's it like, for those people?

Ko: For some, it's quite relieving. There are several who used to despise the sight of their reflections and have found peace from the separation, like removing a splinter.

Mai: And the others?

Ko: ...Less appreciative.

Mai: Figures.
